Hi guys two of my pythons have mites and having ordered Callingtons can someone advise me on application.Is it safe to spray the snake as well as the viv or do I need to avoid the head.Also with water removed can I spray the snake and the viv all at once or do I need to put the python into another rub.How often to repeat the application. Many thanks and best wishes Charlie

Ah, very sorry to hear!

Callingtons' is good though. This is a diary of my recent experiences -

http://www.theroyalpython.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=8220

I've put down detailed info of how I used Callingtons - and I've had good results.

But my methods aren't writ in stone - if you do a search (search option at top right hand of page) you'll find more info on treating mites.

The Callingtons' instructions aren't terribly clear, but you'll get there.

You only spray the viv, not the snake, but you'll read all that - hope this helps and hope you get the little suckers on the run soon! All the very best.
